Beach Energy Sensible to Sell Artisan Natural Gas Find -- Market Talk

Dow Jones

May 26

2314 GMT - Beach Energy's sale of the Artisan natural-gas discovery to Amplitude Energy is a sensible win-win deal, says Macquarie. That's rare in the oil and gas sector. Beach is prioritizing value over volume, Macquarie says. Benefits of the deal to Beach go beyond the A$130 million post-tax deal value. "This transaction allows Beach to divest a capex-intensive asset to a party that can achieve stronger returns," Macquarie says. Capital that would have been allocated to the Otway basin, including drilling the La Bella 2 well, can now be used on acquisitions. Macquarie raises its price target by 13% to A$0.88/share, although it retains an underperform call. Beach ended Monday at A$1.115. (david.winning@wsj.com; @dwinningWSJ)
